Screw Needed
Installation
Preparation
Remove the original handguards (if fitted) and original bar end weights.
Fitting Procedure
Important : There is a ring machined into the side of the tapered clamp
surface to assist with a correct fit. The ring on both halves of the clamp
should line up with each other and be positioned towards the centre of the
motorcycle on the left and right side.
Use Clamp Connector (3) on the left side assembly, use Clamp Connector (11) on
the right side assembly Loosely assemble clamp to handlebar as per diagram.
Attach backbone with applicable parts to the handlebar and also to the clamp
connector (3).
Note: Preferred backbone position is horizontal when viewed from side. Tighten bolt (8) at the handlebar end.
Tighten Clamp bolts in the following order:
- Tighten bolt (7) through the aluminium bar (1) or (2) to the clamp connector (3) of the clamp assembly.
- Tighten bolt (4) to solidly lock the clamp connector (3) between the clamp saddles (2).
- Tighten bolt (5) to secure the clamp assembly firmly to the handlebar.
Note: The clamp is designed to allow the nut (6) on bolt (4) to pull into
the recessed hole.
This eliminates the need for a wrench after the bolt starts to tighten.
Use recommended torque specifications over page.
NOTE:
The hand guard may contact the windscreen and/or the windscreen lever at full
lock. Setting the Windscreen on its highest or lowest position is recommended.
CAUTION
Installation of the handguard is safety-relevant work and can be complicated. We recommend the installation be performed by a motorcycle service technician. Rideworx accepts no liability for damages caused by improper mounting. All screws, bolts and nuts, including all replacement hardware provided by Rideworx, should be tightened to the torque specified in the below table. After the first 50km of riding check all screws, bolts and nuts are tightened to the correct torque. We recommend a medium strength liquid thread lock product on all fasteners.
WARNING:
It is important there is a working clearance (approx 3mm) between the throttle grip end and the handguard to ensure a free closing throttle. Check operation of all handlebar controls, specifically the throttle, front brake, kill switch and clutch to ensure they are operating correctly and are in accordance with the OEM specifications. Do not ride the motorcycle if any controls are not operating correctly. Check periodically that all bolts are tight.

These handguards are intended solely for use with motorcycles/ATV/snowmobiles/scooters that have not been modified. They are not designed to prevent injury or death while riding or in an accident or crash. The user must ensure that all controls are free of the handguards every time that they ride.
